Chinese Industrial Firm Environmental Governance Near 5A Tourist Attractions

2014 enterprise-level data examines the relationship between firms' spatial proximity to China's national 5A tourist attractions and corporate environmental governance. The analysis explores mediating channels like operating costs and fixed-asset intensity. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file containing exploratory mediation and decomposition results.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between spatial proximity to 5A attractions and corporate environmental governance scores.
• Model the mediating effect of firm operating costs on the relationship between tourism proximity and environmental governance.
• Investigate how fixed-asset intensity varies with proximity to natural-landscape versus other attraction types.
• Compare the strength of the proximity-governance relationship across cities with different levels of innovation or marketization.

Strengths

• Data is geocoded, linking firm locations to specific national 5A tourist attractions.
• Analysis includes robustness checks and IV-based estimates as noted in the description.
• Results differentiate effects for natural-landscape attractions and by city characteristics.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, containing only analytical results, not the underlying firm-level data.
• Temporal coverage is limited to a single year, 2014, which may not reflect current conditions.
• The specific variables, row count, and sample data are unavailable for verification.
